"Walk Don't Run" was a giant hit in 1960 for a group from Tacoma Washington, called the Ventures. They got it from a Chet Atkins album, and Chet originally got it from jazz guitarist Johnny Smith. (Whoops! This is starting to sound like a Lenny Bruce routine.)At any rate, "Walk Don't Run" is a very catchy tune, which Johnny Smith based on the changes to "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise". He overdubbed the recording to create 2-part guitar counterpoint.
I've written it here for 2 guitars, bass and drums. We're playing this in the "advanced" combo at Shoreline Community College.
